BVET has been looking for a new perspective on apprenticeship non-completion. This report demonstrates a strong case for change to the current apprenticeship system and services in NSW.
Five critical factors appear to impact on the market response to the concept and experience of apprenticeships:
The central importance of fairness in motivating apprentices and keeping or losing them and the need to establish the baseline parameters for a fair deal to ensure fairness for both apprentices and employers
The opportunity to increase retention rates by reducing the focus on raw numbers of recruits and shifting attention to improving the quality of recruitment
The imperative to improve employer recruitment and employment practices
The need to put genuine competency based progression into practice and ... to address apprentice pay scales
The need for differentiated systems and services to support different apprentices and different employers
